Abstract

A tree cutting attachment for a skid steer loader. The attachment comprises a universal mounting plate by which the attachment quickly and simply is removably attachable to the loader. A circular saw blade is supported at the end of a non jointed arm that extends forwardly from the mounting plate. A hydraulically driven, direct drive motor is supported on the forward end of the arm above the blade and an overhung load adapter may be interposed between the motor and the blade. The blade is mounted for rotation on a vertical axis and preferably is a circular blade with a toothed edge. Leaving the cutting edge of the blade exposed about its entire periphery allows the blade to approach and cut upstanding trees from three sides. A brush guard, preferably of expanded metal, extends upwardly from the arm high enough to protect the operator of the loader.
